Chapter 106 - 102 Barrage
Li Cheng sat in the chair, his left hand hidden beneath the table firmly grasping the Bat Hook Claw Gun, ready to pull the trigger at any moment. His right hand took out a small device.
It consisted of a laser pointer and a spinning wheel. The laser pointer, mounted on the wheel, pointed at the TV screen, and when the wheel spun and stopped, Li Cheng would record on paper the barrage directed by the laser.
Dense numbers floated across the TV screen, all of them phone numbers.
A mechanical arm hung in midair, swaying slightly like the Sword of Damocles. As time trickled away, the mechanical arm ultimately didn’t thrust forward, and the camera lens still aimed at the table laden with "gold ingots."
Seeing Li Cheng and Little Red Riding Hood’s vote count steadily climbing, with the show organizers not interfering—Leonardo and the others, still playing volleyball, were shaken to the core.
"I only brought ten gold bars and a small amount of diamond jewelry with me, and I imagine everyone else did too. Adopting Ant’s tactic, spending money on raffles to buy votes, it’s clear we can’t compete."
Leonardo pressed down his surging emotions, forcing himself to think calmly, "Then, attack Ant, seize the gold?"
Probably not feasible either—as it seems the bottom line for the mechanical arm is that contestants can’t directly attack each other. Moreover, if they attacked Ant, the excited viewers might not give their votes to them either.
What they didn’t know was that Li Cheng earlier got a few pieces of gold from Little Red Riding Hood and, while others were preparing for the next round of reality show in the gymnasium, ran to the Bone Corridor and melted the gold with a Nuclear Energy Lighter, mixing it with other metals to come up with these gold ingots.
Among them were gold-plated, copper-mixed fake gold, and pure gold ingots.
"Trust me," Li Cheng lowered his voice to everyone, "if anyone gets eliminated, don’t resist, immediately head to the door to leave the villa, there’s a high chance you can survive."
